PR (P-1/P-2) Gas Disposition (ASCII)
Gas disposition volumes as reported on Form PR: sold, flared, injected, processed.
What this is:
OGA0861. A 200-byte record per gas well per month carrying the disposition breakdown from the production report: lease and field fuel, transmission line, processing plant, vented or flared, gas lift, pressure maintenance, carbon black, underground storage and extraction loss. It is the gas-side companion to the PDQ disposition table, from the Commission's older reporting system.
How it is laid out:
The Railroad Commission publishes this as Fixed-width ASCII. Columns are byte ranges with no separators, described only in a scanned record layout. We decode it into a table you can open anywhere. It has 56 columns and about 92.8K rows.
The columns you will most likely want:
-
districtRRC district the record belongs to, written the way RRC prints it (01-06, 6E, 7B, 7C, 08, 8A, 09, 10). -
gas_well_gas_rrcid -
report_year -
report_month -
balancing_code -
discrepancy_printed_code
…and 50 more, all documented on the full page.
What we add:
Measure gas flaring and venting at well level from the operator's own monthly filing, and see how much gas went to a processing plant rather than a pipeline.
- Decoded out of the Commission's original format into something Excel opens.
- Filterable before you download, so you can take one county instead of the whole state.
Worth knowing before use:
This is the gas-system file, gsf102. RRC's folder also holds olf102, the oil-system file: casinghead-gas disposition for oil leases, laid out in the same OGA0861 manual under its own record layout, 47,847 records to gsf102's 90,986 in the Commission's own record counts.
